Does anyone know how to do this? I'm trying to figure out how to do this. I've looked on YouTube and I saw one for Vespa (which has a similar "look" to Like200i) but I can't find one for this model.

Can't say as I've worked on the like but usually it's a socketed, &/or clipped holder you get at from behind the leg shield or whatever it's mounted in.  Many can be gotten by just reaching up behind it; albeit it's often easier if you pull the plastic in most of those cases too.

Hi KL200i see Stig's post on bleeding brakes on Like 200i. It shows how to remove the handle bar cover to access the headlamp bulb. Here is the link. http://www.kymcoforum.com/index.php?topic=11272.0

After you get the handlebar cover panels open (see photos in the bleeding brakes post, mentioned by 'bigblue' above), unplug the headlight connector, slide off the rubber bulb cover, release the wire clip with a#2 Phillips screwdriver, remove the bulb.

Replace without touching glass of bulb with your bare fingers. Then clip (a bit fiddly), rubber cover and connector. Reassemble the panels, turn signals and mirrors.

While you are in there - it might be a good idea to at least top of the brake fluid reservoirs with new can of DOT 4 fluid....or bleed the system if it has been two years since fluid was renewed.

Ask questions if you need to - not many of us busy riding just now.
